Day 20 — Global change
In 1900, most children were out of school.
Today, it’s a small minority.
But not for everyone —
girls were left behind for decades.
Progress is real. Inequality too.
#30DayChartChallenge #DataViz #Education
9 line charts in a grid showing how the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has decreased in 8 world regions and the world population overall. From around 3 in 4 people in all regions in 1820 to 1 to 7 % in all regions except for Africa, South of the Sahara (36 %).
Remarkable progress has been made in reducing extreme poverty worldwide. Yet 1 in 10 people still live in extreme poverty.

From no schooling → mass education
In 1950, nearly half of the world had no formal education.
By 2020: just 13% — and secondary became the norm (49%).
Access expanded massively.
Now the challenge is progression and inequality within systems.

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
The current version of #ICE is a black mark against the USA that will last far onto the future.
Did someone die in this hoax, or was that false, too?
Make America Average Again.

Schools are being asked to do more with fewer educators.
Addressing teacher shortages isn’t separate from improving student outcomes.
The two are directly connected!
This is why sustainable staffing solutions, including tutoring models, are critical to supporting both schools and scholars!

This is a Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC blog article with the title "Making Out-of-School-Time Programs More Available". It features images from the 2026 State of Chicago Youth Report from an organization called "A Better Chicago". The charts show the low percent of Chicago K-12 youth involved in out-of-school-time programs, with some areas of the city much lower than others.
It's #VolunteerRecognitionMonth. #POTUS could be pointing to articles like mine, encouraging people to support out-of-school-time youth programs. He's not. You can. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2026/04/maki...

This is a page on the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present) website that hosts lists of Chicago area volunteer-based tutor, mentor and learning programs. The list was started in the mid 1970s when Dan Bassill was the leader of a single program in Chicago and began to reach out to others for ideas and support. It's organized by sections of the city. So, if you open the "Chicago North" section you'll find programs based in that part of the city.
Find links to more than 200 #Chicago area youth-serving programs at tutormentorexchange.net/chicago-area...
If you know any of them, encourage them to share stories here on BlueSky.

This is a page on the MyChiMyFuture website that shows 14 community area plans developed in 2023 and 2024. Click on any of these and you open a PDF showing extensive plans focused on making more youth programming available in those areas. This is part of their on-going effort to bring stakeholders together for citywide meeting and to share information via email newsletters, their website and social media.
The MyChi.MyFuture website has a section showing community plans for 14 #Chicago areas. These are PDFs. I'd love to find links to places where these groups continue to interact. See my article at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2026/04/maki...
Hmmm...
Something very very wrong here
The country's descent into fascism cannot be understood without interrogating U.S. policing. But folks across the political spectrum are allergic to this so here we are.

I'm a huge fan of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, which I use to find and fix broken links, as well as versions of websites I hosted since late 1990s. I don't have a lot of money, they are on my giving list.

I am thrilled at what is happening in Hungary. I was a kid in 1956 and watched TV reports of Russia crushing that rebellion. I will hold my breath for a few months to make sure the election stands and it is not overturned.
This is the front page of a Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present) visual essay. It's asking "What stories on a tutor/mentor program website would convince you to join, or support it with time, talent and/or dollars? It uses an image of a person viewing a website to show how supporters should be able to browse lists of programs and "shop" for which they want to support, based on information provided on the website.
What info on a #tutor #mentor program website would convince donors to provide support, without asking for a grant proposal? danielbassill319958.substack.com/p/what-would...
I offer suggestions in this article.
